It is a partially underground structure comprising APM stations (both arriving and departing) and extends above ground under a metal shell. Similar to Concourse B, the lower and upper levels of Concourse A are connected by means of a special vertical transportation system (sky trains) that acts as a focal point in a central atrium. The first and business class levels are located on different levels below the hotel level. It also includes a Health Club and a Business Centre.
